As shown in FIG. 12, the scenario processing unit 202b first receives a “trigger signal” for executing the scenario information D2 (step S130).
In the example of FIG. 10, when the wireless communication unit 201 receives the response wave from the vehicle-mounted device 10 A and communication with the vehicle-mounted device 10 A is established, the wireless communication unit 201 notifies the CPU 202 “communication with the vehicle-mounted device”. Is output. The scenario processing unit 202b of the CPU 202 receives a signal indicating “establishment of communication with the vehicle-mounted device” as the “trigger signal” (step S130).

Next, as shown in FIG. 12, the scenario processing unit 202b selects scenario information D2 having a “trigger signal” that matches the received signal from among a plurality of scenario information D2 recorded on the recording medium 203. Read (step S131).
In the example shown in FIG. 10, the scenario processing unit 202b selects “scenario A” (FIG. 5) as scenario information D2 having a “trigger signal” that matches a signal indicating “establishment of communication with the vehicle-mounted device”. Read (step S131).

Next, as shown in FIG. 12, the scenario processing unit 202b executes a series of processing procedures based on the “processing procedure” recorded in the read scenario information D2 (step S132).
In the example shown in FIG. 10, the scenario processing unit 202b issues a command (READ command) for reading “billing processing data D1” based on the “processing procedure” recorded in the read “scenario A” (FIG. 5). It transmits to 10 A of onboard equipment through the wireless communication part 201. FIG.
When the scenario processing unit 202b receives a response (READ result) to the command from the vehicle-mounted device 10A through the wireless communication unit 201, the scenario processing unit 202b transmits the acquired “billing processing data D1” to the charging processing device 210 through the wired communication unit 204. .

In the example shown in FIG. 11, the scenario processing unit 202b selects “scenario B” (FIG. 5) as scenario information D2 having a “trigger signal” that matches a signal indicating “accounting processing data write command reception”. Read (step S131).

Next, as shown in FIG. 12, the scenario processing unit 202b executes a series of processing procedures based on the “processing procedure” recorded in the read scenario information D2 (step S132).
In the example shown in FIG. 11, the scenario processing unit 202b issues a command (WRITE command) for writing “billing processing data D1” based on the “processing procedure” recorded in the read “scenario B” (FIG. 5). It transmits with respect to 10 A of onboard equipment through the wireless communication part 201. FIG. Further, when the scenario processing unit 202b receives a response (WRITE result) to the command from the vehicle-mounted device 10A through the wireless communication unit 201, the scenario processing unit 202b transmits the response (WRITE result) to the charging processing device 210 through the wired communication unit 204.

On the other hand, when there is no “verification data” having information that matches the “card number” of “billing processing data D1” acquired from the onboard device 10C (step S401: NO), the charging result verification unit 212c proceeds to step S403. move on.

Next, as shown in FIG. 32, the charging result verification unit 212c determines whether or not the acquired “verification data” matches the “charging processing data D1” acquired from the in-vehicle device 10C through the downstream wireless communication device 230. Is determined (step S402).
If the “verification data” does not match the “billing processing data D1” (step S402: NO), the charging result verification unit 212c proceeds to the next step S403. On the other hand, if the “verification data” and the “billing processing data D1” match (step S402: YES), the charging result verification unit 212c determines that the charging result is normal, and the “charging result verification process P40”. To finish.

The charging result verification unit 212c determines that there is no “verification data” having information that matches the “card number” of the “billing processing data D1” acquired from the vehicle-mounted device 10C (step S401: NO), or “validation data” ”And“ charging process data D1 ”do not match (step S402: NO), it is determined that the charging result is abnormal, and the“ charging process data D1 ”is recorded as“ abnormal data ”in the recording medium 213. .
Further, the accounting result verification unit 212c performs an abnormality process of notifying the administrator of the fee collection facility 20C of “abnormal data” (step S403).

In the example of FIGS. 29 to 30, “charging process data D1” updated based on “new charging process data” received from the upstream wireless communication device 220 is stored in the recording medium 120 of the card C and the vehicle-mounted device 10C. Is recorded.
For this reason, the charging result verification unit 212c has “verification data” having information that matches the “card number” of the “billing processing data D1” acquired from the vehicle-mounted device 10C (step S401: YES), and Since “verification data” and “charging process data D1” match (step S402: YES), it is determined that the charging result is normal, and “charging result verification process P40” is terminated.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 31, after the writing processing unit 133 of the on-vehicle device 10C performs “new charging processing data writing processing P25” (FIGS. 22 to 23), the card updating unit 134 performs “charging processing”. If the card C is extracted before the “data update process P26” is started, the duplication processing unit 131 of the on-vehicle device 10C performs “the process P21 for deleting the charging process data” (FIGS. 16 to 17). Do.
In this case, since “charging processing data D1” is not recorded in the recording medium 120 of the card C and the vehicle-mounted device 10C, the downstream wireless communication device 230 acquires correct charging processing data from the vehicle-mounted device 10C. Can not do it. At this time, the charging result processing unit 212c does not have “verification data” having information that matches the “card number” (no data) of “charging processing data D1” acquired from the vehicle-mounted device 10C (step S401: NO). ), It is determined that the billing result is abnormal, and abnormality processing is performed (step S403).
In addition, when a problem occurs such as the card update unit 134 of the vehicle-mounted device 10 C failing “accounting process data update process P 26”, the “accounting process data D 1” recorded on the card C is “new charging Information (for example, “remaining amount” before reducing the billing amount) different from “processing data” (for example, “new balance” after deducting the billing amount from “remaining amount”) is included. In this case, the charging result processing unit 212c has “verification data” having information that matches the “card number” of “charging processing data D1” acquired from the vehicle-mounted device 10C (step S401: YES). Since the contents of “verification data” and “billing process data D1” do not match (step S402: NO), it is determined that the billing result is abnormal, and the abnormal process is performed (step S403).

(Function and effect)
As described above, the toll collection facility 20 C according to the present embodiment has the upstream wireless communication device 220 provided upstream of the lanes L 1 and L 2 as the wireless communication device, and the lane L 1 than the upstream wireless communication device 220. , And a downstream wireless communication device 230 provided on the downstream side of L2. The charging processing device 240 includes “new charging processing data” related to the writing process performed by the upstream wireless communication device 220 for the on-vehicle device 10C, and the read processing performed by the downstream wireless communication device 230 for the on-vehicle device 10C. If the “billing process data D1” does not match, a charging result verification unit 212c that determines that the writing process to the in-vehicle device 10C has not been performed normally is provided.
In this way, the charging result verification unit 212c allows the in-vehicle device 10C to terminate the communication with the upstream wireless communication device 220 in order to shorten the communication time with the toll collection facility 20C. Even if the “data” writing process is performed, the upstream wireless communication device 220 transmits the data to the onboard device 10C based on the “billing processing data D1” acquired from the onboard device 10C through the downstream wireless communication device 230. It is possible to recognize whether or not the writing process performed is performed normally.
For this reason, the charging result verification unit 212c is after the vehicle-mounted device 10C ends communication with the upstream wireless communication device 220 and before the card update unit 134 of the vehicle-mounted device 10C performs “charging process data update process P26”. Even when a problem such as the card C being removed occurs during this period, it can be recognized that the “new charging process data” has not been normally written in the card C.

Further, the charging result verification unit 212c performs an abnormality process for notifying the administrator of the fee collection facility 20C that the charging result is abnormal. As a result, the administrator or the like recognizes that the “new billing process data” has not been normally written in the card C, and information such as the “card number” that can identify the card C. It is possible to stop the use of the card C associated with the “card number”, bill the owner of the card C, etc.
